Characters and conversations

Make the role clear before adding more detail

A useful character definition explains what someone wants and how they react. Keep the appearance, personality and opening situation connected without making them do the same job.

Updated

Write behaviour you can recognise in a reply

Choose supported appearance settings in Create for an original adult subject. Then describe background, compatible traits and a current purpose. Explain what a trait looks like in practice instead of repeating broad adjectives.

Nora is a 41-year-old harbour dispatcher. She speaks plainly, checks departures in a notebook and admits when a route is uncertain. Tonight a cancelled ferry has left a visitor looking for another way across the bay.

The notebook and the cancellation give her a reason to respond. The definition does not need to dictate every future event.

Let the greeting invite a decision

Put the character in an immediate situation and leave something for the user to answer. Nora could point to two possible routes and ask which destination matters. Do not write the user's thoughts or choose their response in advance.

  1. Review the first generated portrait.
  2. Answer the greeting with an ordinary question.
  3. Try another exchange within the same role.
  4. Remove a contradiction or unclear instruction.
  5. Review visibility before sharing.

Publish only to the audience you intend

Private, unlisted and public profiles have different audiences. Public submissions require review and may need changes, so use the submission state and notice to understand progress. There is no fixed approval deadline for every character.

Also consider generation visibility: media made with a public character can enter its community pack. Our visibility distinctions explain why a private conversation does not make all associated media private.

Do not use a copied real-person reference

Reference-photo uploads for reproducing someone's likeness are not supported. Build an original fictional adult with the available appearance fields and definition. An editing control for an already generated picture is not a general permission to upload another person's photo.

Keep the profile within our content requirements. Use reply instructions for temporary style changes rather than constantly rewriting the character's history.

Questions and answers

What are the steps to make an OurDream character?

Set an original adult's appearance, describe their behaviour and background, and add a current scenario and greeting. Test the profile in a few exchanges before choosing visibility or submitting it publicly.

What belongs in the personality prompt?

A role, compatible traits and examples of behaviour. Give the character an immediate purpose and avoid competing instructions or a biography that leaves no room for a conversation.

Can I upload a selfie to create a companion?

Copying a person's likeness through reference-photo upload is not supported. Use original fictional subjects and the available character controls.

Why is a public character waiting for review?

Public profiles go through moderation and can require revisions. Check the status or request for changes; timing depends on the queue and submission.
